Our land ice numerical models simulate the behaviour of land ice, incorporating ice flow, melting and accumulation supporting scientists to predict potential future scenarios. We can use data sets and models to assess the mass balance of ice sheets in regions like Greenland and Antarctica, which supports scientists to understand sea level rise and its impact on the global climate.
